NEW YORK, Aug. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: NYMT) (“NYMT,” the “Company,”
“we,” “our” or “us”) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Summary of Second Quarter 2018:

common stockholders of $17.2 million, or $0.15 per share.
- Net interest income of $17.5 million and portfolio net interest margin of 239 basis points.
- Book value per common share of $5.76 at June 30, 2018, a decrease of less than 1% from March 31, 2018, resulting in an
economic return of 2.9% for the quarter and an annualized economic return of 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

- Issued and sold 12,145,144 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $73.8 million, under our
at-the-market equity offering program.
Subsequent Developments:
The Company announced today that it had begun the process to internalize the management of its distressed
residential loan strategy as part of an effort to expand its capabilities in self managing, sourcing and creating single family
residential credit assets. The Company has recently hired ten investment professionals to build and expand its single family
residential credit asset platform. The Company expects that the single family residential credit team will ultimately
be comprised of 15 to 20 professionals in total. The Company believes the internalization of the management of the distressed
residential loans, as well as expanded capabilities in sourcing and originating will strengthen the Company’s ability to capitalize
on future credit investment opportunities.
In connection with the internalization, the Company notified Headlands Asset Management, the external manager of
its distressed residential loan portfolio, that it will allow its management agreement with the manager to expire on June 30,
2019. This represents a continuation of steps taken in recent years by the Company to fully internalize its investment
portfolio management. In May 2016, the Company announced the internalization of its multi-family credit investment platform
through the acquisition of RiverBanc LLC. During the second quarter, the Company completely exited out of its Agency IO
strategy, which had been managed externally prior to January 1, 2018.
Management Overview
Steven Mumma, NYMT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The Company delivered another quarter of stable earnings
and book value, with GAAP EPS of $0.21 per common share and book value at $5.76, down $0.03 from the previous quarter. Multi-Family
continued to be the significant contributor during the quarter, with both net interest income and unrealized gains increasing from
the prior quarter. The Company was opportunistic in raising capital through its at-the-market equity offering program raising
approximately $73.8 million during the quarter, resulting in $0.03 accretion to overall book value.
As the Company has grown in recent years, we have taken steps to internalize the investment management of our
various investment portfolios. In May 2016, we acquired our external manager for our multi-family credit investments and during the
quarter, we exited our Agency IO portfolio, which had been externally managed. We are pleased to announce that we have begun the
process to internalize the management of our distressed residential loan strategy. As part of an effort to expand our
capabilities in self managing, sourcing and creating single family residential credit assets, we have added ten investment
professionals to our single family residential credit investment team.
In connection with this internalization, we provided Headlands notice that we intend to cause our management
agreement with them to expire when its term ends in June 2019. Headlands has been a valued and trusted partner and advisor to
us since 2010 and we are grateful for their many contributions to our growth.
We believe that internalization of all our credit investing functions, including both multi-family and single
family residential, will strengthen the Company's ability to identify and secure future investment opportunities in this key
strategic area."

Second Quarter Earnings Summary
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $23.8
million as compared to $23.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
We generated net interest income of $17.5 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 239 basis points for
the quarter ended June 30, 2018 as compared to net interest income of $19.8 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 286
basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The $2.3 million decrease in net interest income in the second quarter was
primarily due to lower net interest income generated by our distressed residential portfolio. Our distressed residential
portfolio experienced a decrease in asset yield of 174 basis points and an increase in cost of funds of 42 basis points, which
resulted in a decline in net interest margin of $2.4 million in this portfolio as compared to the prior quarter. The decline
in net interest margin in the Company's distressed residential portfolio is mainly attributable to changes in expected cash flows
resulting from greater loan sale activity in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2018.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we recognized other income of $20.0 million as compared to other
income of $21.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The change in other income is primarily comprised of the
following:
- An increase in net unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts of $4.5 million.
- An increase in realized gains on residential mortgage loans, including distressed residential mortgage loans of $3.1
million.
- An increase in net realized loss on investment securities and related hedges of $5.2 million resulting from the final
liquidation of our Agency IO portfolio, partially offset by an increase in unrealized loss recovery of $4.7 million previously
recognized on these assets and included in the net unrealized gain on investment securities and related hedges as discussed
below.
- An increase in net unrealized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $0.9 million primarily consisting of a $4.7
million increase in gain from our Agency IO portfolio offset by a $3.8 million increase in unrealized loss from our interest rate
swaps accounted for as trading instruments for accounting purposes.
- A decrease in other income of $3.8 million, which is due to a $2.1 million impairment loss recognized on the real estate
development property owned through the Company's 50% interest in an entity that owns and develops land and residential homes in
Kiawah Island, SC. The Company's $2.1 million impairment loss is partially offset by the $1.0 million non-controlling
interest share of the loss. In addition, the first quarter activity included a $2.3 million gain recognized by a consolidated
variable interest entity from the sale of its multi-family apartment property in March 2018.
The following table details the general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2018
and March 31, 2018 respectively (dollar amounts in thousands):

operating real estate and real estate held for sale in consolidated variable interest entities for the quarters ended June 30,

of a multi-family apartment property in the prior quarter.

“will,” “may” or similar expressions, are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and,
as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future
performance, taking into account all information currently available to it. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject
to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the
Company. If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially
from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The following factors are examples of those that could cause actual results
to vary from the Company’s forward-looking statements: changes in interest rates and the market value of the Company’s investments;
changes in credit spreads; changes in the long-term credit ratings of the U.S., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae; market
volatility; changes in the prepayment rates on the mortgage loans underlying the Company’s investment securities; increased rates
of default and/or decreased recovery rates on the Company's assets; delays in identifying and acquiring the Company’s targeted
assets; the Company’s ability to borrow to finance its assets and the terms thereof; changes in governmental laws, regulations or
policies affecting the Company’s business; the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal tax purposes;
the Company’s ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and risks
associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy. These and other
risks, uncertainties and factors, including the risk factors described in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements
it makes. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New risks and uncertainties arise over
time and it is not possible to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Except as required by law, the Company is
not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
